Cable management arrangements for cable termination, splice, and storage come in many forms. One type of cable management arrangement used in the telecommunications industry includes sliding drawers installed on telecommunication equipment racks. The drawers provide organized, high-density, cable termination, splice, and storage in telecommunication infrastructures that often have limited space.
To accommodate the massive scale of telecommunication infrastructures, and to maximize use of limited space, the drawers are sometimes stacked or mounted at heights above a comfortable working height. That is, the drawers can be stacked such that it is difficult to reach or access the interior of some drawers. Access is necessary in both the original installation of cables and subsequent adaptation or maintenance of the cables. There is a continued need in the art for better cable management devices and arrangements to address concerns regarding the ease of use of such cable management arrangements.
